about

The music industry is a tough nut to crack for independent artists. This is the story of that experience; playing to empty bars, early morning road trips home, and the dream of making a splash in a vast ocean.

lyrics

Just another old bar, In another old town
Another old stage, Beaten run down
We're playing our tunes
But there's nobody here
Just a couple old boys, puffing their smoke and drinking flat beer

Their spinning old yarns, Their sharing old jokes
They don't hear us singing, These just ain't our folks
It's been along night
We'll shut 'er down early
Jump in the truck, finds some new luck if we get to the city

CHORUS
I got four on the floor, Doing a hundred or more
Down a dusty grid road, loosens my load, find our way home

These troubadour dreams, Ain't as great as they seem
The night is our life, a lingering drive, break at daylight


We pine for the sound, of Music City streets
I'll join in its song, Strum to its beat
For today we'll move on
Headed up north
A dirty bar waits, follow our fate, see what's in store

CHORUS
INSTRUMENTAL
CHORUS
